This scale is tied to four qualitative evaluation levels. 10-9 = There exists an effective and independent audit office. 8-6 = There exists an effective and independent audit office, but its role is slightly limited. 5-3 = There exists an independent audit office, but its role is considerably limited. 2-1 = There does not exist an independent and effective audit office. Australia Score 10 Under the Auditor-General Act 1997, the auditor-general is responsible for providing auditing services to parliament and other public sector entities. The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) supports the auditor-general, who is an independent officer of parliament. The ANAO’s purpose is to provide parliament with an independent assessment of selected areas of the public administration, and to provide assurance regarding public sector financial reporting, administration and accountability. This task is undertaken primarily by conducting performance and financial statement audits.

  • Use of Insolvency Proceedings for Systemically Important Financial Institutions
    INTERNATIONAL INSOLVENCY INSTITUTE Twelfth Annual International Insolvency Conference Supreme Court of France Paris, France SHOWCASE PRESENTATION: PLANNING FOR FAILURE: USE OF INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS FOR SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS Overview Of The Japanese Legal Framework To Resolve A Systemically Important Financial Institution In Insolvency Proceedings In Japan By Hideyuki Sakai Bingham McCutchen Murase Sakai Mimura Tokyo June 21-22, 2012 ©International Insolvency Institute 2012. All rights reserved. Admin*1656557.1 OVERVIEW OF THE JAPANESE LEGAL FRAMEWORK TO RESOLVE A SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION IN INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS IN JAPAN May 28, 2012 Hideyuki Sakai [email protected] Tokyo Tel: +81-3-6721-3131 (Direct) Introduction This article is intended to provide an overview of the Japanese legal framework within which the resolution of a systemically important financial institution would occur in Japan. While Japan has a well-established scheme of insolvency laws, there have been few insolvencies of Japanese regulated financial institutions in the past decade. In addition, Japanese courts have considerable latitude in administering insolvency proceedings and rendering decisions. The combination of these factors makes it difficult to predict with certainty the mechanisms for implementing a proposed resolution. International Context Japan is a member of the Group of Twenty (“G20”) and the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”). As such, Japan’s leaders have committed to pursue financial stability, implement international financial standards and undergo periodic peer reviews.1 On November 4, 2011, three Japanese financial institutions were named in the initial group of twenty-nine globally systemically important financial institutions (“G-SIFIs”) identified by the FSB and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”).

  • National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) 2010-2021
    Message General Economics Division, Planning Commission of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh has prepared the National Sustainable Development Strategy 2010-21 (NSDS) to address a critical development aspiration of our time. We need to balance economic, social and environmental requirements of development in order to ensure “the needs of the present generation are met without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.” Despite our past achievements, a large population is still in poverty, unemployment and underemployment rate is still high. This strives achieving high growth so urgent that it is easy to downplay the right of the next generation to natural resources. But a large and growing population living in a relatively small geographical area which is increasingly pressurizing our environment – air, water and soil, dictates the urgency of sustainable development in the country. NSDS fulfils the twin objectives of formulating strategies to meet the challenges of economic, social and environmental sustainability faced by the economy as well as meeting international obligation of our country to global sustainable development principles and agenda. Meeting the sustainable development challenges will need raising the awareness and understanding of people of the challenges and coordinated efforts at the local, regional, national and global levels. The time frame of NSDS coincides with the Perspective Plan of Bangladesh 2010-2021which guides the economy towards its transition to a middle income economy by early next decade of this millennium. The Planning Commission will need to take necessary measures to mainstream the strategies of NSDS into national development planning processes.

  • The National Administrative Organization in Japan
    Appendix 2 THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION IN JAPAN 1. The Outline of National Administrative Organization National administration is uniformly carried out by the Cabinet and the organizations under the cabinet. The Cabinet, Ministries, Agencies and Incorporated Administrative Agencies (IAAs), etc. function as one organization, at the top of which exists the Cabinet. It is responsible for all the activities of State except legislative and judicial ones. Consequently it is natural that these organizations which take care of national administration should be systematically organized under the Cabinet. As of 2019, the Cabinet Office, 11 Ministries, and the Reconstruction Agency are under the Cabinet. They are national administrative organizations in the proper sense of terms. However, not all the areas of State activities are covered by these Ministries. Incorporated Administrative Agencies and Public Corporations also cover other parts of the activities. One of their purposes is accomplishing enough efficiency and effectiveness in their business with autonomy and legal personalities separated from State.To necessary extent, they are subject to various controls by their competent Ministers. The former, for which more general rules are prepared, amount 87 as of October 1, 2019. Some of them are regarded the same as government offices in terms of quality of their roles, to which are applied statutes concerned. Public Corporations, which now amount 33 as of the same date, are enterprises dealing with different quality business from IAAs. They must be regulated by individual acts of rules, not common rules, unlike IAAs. Thus we can see some types of organizations following policy process from planning to implementation.

  • Who Is Yoshihide Suga, Japan's Next Prime Minister?
    THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION THE CURRENT: Who is Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s next prime minister? Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Host: Adrianna Pita, Office of Communications, Brookings Guest: Mireya Solís, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for East Asia Policy Studies, Philip Knight Chair in Japan Studies, Brookings (MUSIC) PITA: You’re listening to The Current, part of the Brookings Podcast Network. I’m your host, Adrianna Pita. After last month’s surprise resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party has elected its Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, into leadership, all but assuring he will become the next prime minister following a parliamentary vote on Wednesday. With us again with some insight into what to expect from Mr. Suga’s leadership is Mireya Solis, director of our Center for East Asia Policy Studies and the Philip Knight Chair in Japan studies. Mireya, thanks for talking to us again. SOLÍS: It's wonderful to be here. Thank you, Adrianna. PITA: So, who is Mr. Suga, and what do we know about him? SOLÍS: Well, he has an interesting biography. I think I would start first by pointing out that he is a self-made man. It's a very important characteristic of Japan that political lineage matters a great deal. It is very common to have second-generation politicians who inherit the family name. That is not the case for Mr. Suga. He comes from Akita prefecture, rural Japan. His father had a strawberry farm and therefore he started in the political world without any connections, without any advantages, and he now has risen to the top.
